DIY Doormats

Personalized doormats are becoming the craze! I have seen some pretty cute and funny doormats on Social Media. I tried my hand at a couple of DIY Doormats and wanted to share them with you.

This is my favorite. Been very appropriate as our dog, Axel, watches the people walking in our neighborhood.

Our more “personalized” door mat.

I did try 2 different methods on these doormats. BOTH methods required the use of my Cricut machine. On ONE doormat I used the vinyl adhesive cut out as a template. That was challenging in trying to make sure the large template didn’t all stick together in one big ball. Once adhesive vinyl was put in place, the rest was a breeze. On the SECOND doormat I used the iron on vinyl cut out as a template. It was a bit challenging in being able to keep the vinyl in place on the mat. I did apply a very small amount of heat from a heat gun to lightly keep it into place. Once it was put in place, the rest was also a breeze.

The spray paint I would recommend for this project is Rust-Oleum Leak Seal in black. It is a “waterproof flexible rubber coating”. What a perfect use on a door mat. After paint was dried I followed up with a coat of Rust-Oleum Leak Seal in clear coat over the entire mat. I feel like this gives it a good final seal.

If you are in the mood to tackle this project I highly recommend. OR if you would prefer we make one for you just let us know.
